NATURE AND SPORT IN BRITAIN 



is well established that our familiar cormorant is fairly- 

 abundant at times along the shore-line of South Africa. 

 This bird, in fact, has, like many other British species, 

 a very wide range, and is found from Greenland to 

 South Africa, and from Eastern North America to the 

 Mediterranean and Asia. 



It is, I think, a matter of some interest to find so 

 many of our British birds denizens of or frequent 

 visitors to so far off a country as southern Africa. It 

 is more than probable that in the next few years fresh 

 recruits may be found for the catalogue of birds common 

 to both countries. Already, upon going through my 

 list, I am able to count no less than seventy-two species 

 thus cosmopolitan.
